Funny, how we went from having, at most, Rathalos drinking water in MH1 to having a whole entire food chain in Monster Hunter World. I remember wishing monsters would fight eachother ingame like it was yesterday. In a few months, it looks like that wish will come true! January 26th, 2018 baby.

While I do sometimes miss the more “gamey” feel of the older MH games, it’s undeniably cool that we’re at a point where the gameplay accurately reflects the old intros.

This is exactly what went through my mind when I first saw the new trailers! So stoked and honestly… I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who thought of this intro when seeing Wilds. Cheers 🍻 mates! See you in the wilds in 2025!

Pretty much the only time the velociprey is actually acting as a predator instead of prey in an opening

Whether the Rathalos survived or the hunters all died at the end is still a mystery to this day.

I haven't seen those hunters and I haven't seen a rathalos that huge. I think whatever the gunner loaded in there blew everyone to bits.

You know, after starting with Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate, and then playing MH4U on the 3DS, I have to be honest, this opening gives me goosebumps.

+The Iron Mitt As a child, when I first saw the rathalos in this trailer, I thought he was the hardest thing to kill in the game. When I actually met him during those egg quest, I could feel how hard he was and knew I couldn't kill him at the time. Months passed as I made my way through the ranks and quest to reach him. But when I did, it was the most epic fight ever in my childhood life. Slaying it for the first time felt like the greatest achievement in my life. But now I knew there were more monsters out there.This trailer alone, made me fall in love with the rathalos/monster hunter.

My eyes cleaned now, after watching the movie trailer.

20 years...

I think this is the best intro in the series. And I'll tell you why: It felt real. That is to say, the games have always spouted that there is an ecosystem in Monster Hunter, which until MHW was only show in snippets when the predators had to heal and when herbivores sensed danger in the next area over. But this intro is the one that actually makes it feel like it's an ecosystem. Here we have two velociprey that panic a herd to weed out one of the weaker juveniles. The mother then proceeds to actually stop and attempt to defend her baby, and the velociprey intentionally avoid her attacks to move around her and capture her baby. Then, a Rathalos, rather than just swooping in to grab an adult, scares the predators off the already killed baby to steal it. They're acting like real animals in this one. Compare that to Monster Hunter Tri's opening. A herd of aptonoth stampeding from a jaggi pack while ludroth leap from the water to try to grab them even after some have fallen in to be eaten. The jaggi do not strategize, simply leap onto the first animal they can and start biting, and hold no regard for their own wellbeing, be it being trampled on by the aptonoth or being tossed into the water to the Ludroth. And then the Great Jaggi simply runs in and is about to go for the first one he sees before Rathalos tackles it to the ground, causing dozens of aptonoth and Jaggi to be maimed in a pile up. Then a Lagiacrus shows up to fight the Rathalos, before the Rathalos flies away to show that multiple packs of jaggi all within a few yards of each other are hunting aptonoth relentlessly. It felt more hectic and chaotic in Tri. Not so much like they were animals anymore but instead actually had become monsters, rabid and caring only for the next meal no matter what it took to get it. In World it at least feels like they're animals again, even moreso now than before.

Well at least it is shown with the Anjanath and the great jagras in the ancient forest, for example the great jagras rushes to the aptonot/Kestodon (for inside the world logic) and tackles them to make them fall and then eat them alive in one big swallow, and with the Anjanath he stalks them for a while making them nervous so then he breaks the tension with a roar just to agitate them and "separate" one (again, like it's happening in a real forest) and go for a kill, the rathalos, rathian and legiana are the same as in the tri trailer they just rush and kill the prey with the exception that legiana actually grabs the raphinos and eat them alive (like seen in his intro)

@gamechanger8908

Despite that, I would say the Hunters in comparison looked less stiff and actually have more fluid movement as the cinematics improved. Like we notice how Hunters hunt with more improvise tactics, like how they trap them and bomb them. Also funny thing is in game the small Monsters and large monsters act less like animals, like how the Velociprey don't try retreating when a large monster is nearby, I'm playing Freedom and those critters don't flock off when I'm fighting a Rathalos, while in later installments like 3U-GU when a large monster roars they retreat, and also the large monsters when tired swoop by and attack herbivores like Aptonoth or Apceros while stalking the area for intruders(in the older games like gen 1, this is but cutscene)

God. Damn. That looks amazing for a PS2 game. Tears man. I love this series.

Several years on, having played nearly every Monster hunter released outside Japan, this opening is still the best. And it just highlights why, even if you're now playing the vastly superior MH4U, you still owe Rathy his dues, because even with Capcom basically shunting Rathalos and Rathian down to middle class monsters with Khezu and friends, they will still punish the shit out of unprepared hunters, and will satisfy anyone who had to do that goddamn egg quest from the first game no matter how high their HR is.

@Dortchskii

Жыл бұрын

Man that egg quest was brutal in the beginning. And I remember with no access to internet not having the logic to defeat Los for the first time, until I had spent dozens of hours failing. But then in an ironic twist I mowed through all the level 5 quests after. And also my disappointment discovering for the first time that the Kosoto blade was actually weaker than the hunters knife we entered the game with. Although it did look way cooler IMO It’s shocking to me how few remember MH1. That was my favorite game as a kid. I will forever play every monster hunter released, even if I have a new main game these days.

"The pack of Velociprey stand victorious, as the Aptonoth mother can only watch as her calf is being shredded to pieces. With this, a bittersweet peace comes to the grasslands... Unless... The hungry Velociprey stop mid-bite, alarmed. Something's wrong. First, a glimpse. A faint shadow crosses over. Then again, and again, ever more closer. With a deafening roar , a true monster lands onto the scared pack. Rathalos, King of the Skies. This flying wyvern of legend patrols the grasslands as the unmatched apex predator. The calf will be an little appetizer. Powerless, the Velociprey get off the carcass, angrily shouting at the Rathalos, in a futile effort to drive him away. Without any hurry, the wyvern grips the deceased Aptonoth with its powerful claws, and takes flight to the mountains, to enjoy his stolen meal in privacy. Just as three brave hunters expected..." Something along this would be awesome to hear from David Attenborough.

A legend has born I mean not the channel game

0:56 this is one my favorite scene which the orchestra set the mysterious tone. 1:07 Start of the chase another great scene that was probably because of the orchestra hamming in the urgency of fleeing

Ah, the village i born to be a hunter. Miss the old time, especially stealing some monster eggs with pack of raptors and bullfangos.

Rathalos had really big teeth in early gen

here for this game's 17th anniversary day today

As a Wycademy Hunter, I'm glad I got the chance to actually play Freedom. gen 1 Monster Hunter may have been less optimized compared to the later games, but the fact the core mechanics of gathering - hunting - grinding - get new gear - repeat. Has stayed for the past 18 years.

This was always the best one. Played all on psp, all on ps4, this one is where it's at. New hunters do not seem to understand.

Von der Nostalgie her sieht das aus meinen Augen immer noch realistischer aus als Monster Hunter World

2:23 Best plan in the entire series. This one defines MH the best for me. Nature is both beautiful and dangerous. The monster is in the center, prominently illuminated by beams of light, while the hunters are lying in ambush behind a rock, hiding at the bottom left, almost invisible. They are portrayed as weak and cunning, not the center of attention. And the only time we think they are going to attack and succeed, they bounce off when hitting the Rathalos, shown failing in their attempt.

Awesome

Nostalgia.

Capcom has yet to make a game that gives off the same feeling as this opening cutscene. World was close, but it's not quite there yet.

I love the old rathalos design. Its more scarier and menancing. But current design also good its cool tho

You did well baby Aptonoth. The panick in the beginning as the Kelbi run,very frightening. I will sharpen this Lance for you again. As I have since 2004. Shield is ready. Palico, it is time.

One thing I always wished you could do in mh games is scheme. Sure, you can technically do that. But you have to really know monster movements and values and stuff. What I mean is. In all these intros, the hunters typically have a plan for taking out the monster, usually involving traps. And play around it. But in game, we all just typically run up to them and start swinging

Punishment for stealing prey from others is for hunters to make hat out of your body parts :)
